Gorgeous View!
The home was clean, updated, beautiful & had a heck of a view! Each room had plenty of space to spread out for a couple, as well as a ‘kids bunk room’ option if you bring the children. I think I counted 4 bunk beds?! The town of Elysian is 5 min down the road and a great watering hole, bowling alley & more!

Great place
Excellent for our family. Plenty of room. Only downer was we should have brought slippers to keep our feet warm since the hardwood floors got a little cold.

Great spot for family gathering
Beautiful lake place, lot of rooms, comfortable beds, very clean, great spot with bunks and crib for kids, nice sandy beach and dock, nice firepit area, great large kitchen with everything we needed, and lots of area to sit in big groups. Owner was out of town but very easy to get in touch with and very helpful figuring out a few very minor issues. Lots of parking space across just across the road. Overall it worked great for us, we had a fantastic time, and hope to visit again.
